The Premier League returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Wolverhampton Wanderers lock horns with Brentford in an important clash at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday. Both teams have been in poor form this season and will want to win this game.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings and have been in dismal form this season. The away side slumped to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Brentford, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table and have been inconsistent over the past year. The hosts held West Ham United to a 1-1 draw in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
